Capital chases profit.
Unchanging through the ages.
Su Chen didn't want to make money, but Qi Rui was a huge conglomerate!
They couldn't possibly give up such a great opportunity to make money just because of Su Chen's words!
Isn't this what they mean by "big stores bully their customers"?
"Oh! That's easy. I told them I'm planning to start a new book, and I'd give them priority for film and television adaptation rights," Su Chen said indifferently.
It was as if he were talking about some trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.
But this sentence stunned everyone present.
You, an author, made such a big website back down with just one sentence?
That's way too much of an exaggeration—only 23 pictures?!
"Holy crap!!!" Ren Yifan didn't know how to describe his feelings.
"Of course, when I said there's no VIP, I only meant there wouldn't be one for the first six months of the series' run. As for whether there will be one later, that's none of my business."
Su Chen shrugged: "I've tried my best to make it available to everyone who wants to get it for free, but I can't keep up with it forever."
Everyone nodded.
That's true, if it's free for six months, why don't you watch porn?
Then you should just keep quiet when VIP access is required.
While everyone else was still engrossed in the TV series, Lu Qiaochuan looked at Su Chen curiously: "What's the genre of the new book you mentioned? Is it good?"
"Or is it a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) story?"
Hearing this, Zhong Bai looked over as well: "Fantasy/martial arts is good, I want to watch it."
Looking at the two inquisitive faces, Su Chen shook his head: "Unfortunately, no."
"If we really have to categorize them, it should be tomb raiding novels."
"Tomb raiding???" Lu Qiaochuan frowned. "Are you sure you can make a film or television adaptation of this?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "As long as you're willing to think, there are always more solutions than problems."
"Of course, you can't dig it up and sell it. You have to hand it over. Is there any question about that?"
Ren Yifan's eyes widened: "Tomb raiding and handing it over to the state??? This plot sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?"
Su Chen shrugged: "That has nothing to do with me."
......
Office buildings in Shanghai.
Editor-in-Chief Li watched the rapidly scrolling comments on his computer screen.
All smiles.
It was his idea to keep the TV series from airing.
He watched the finished product of the TV series. Although there were some flaws in the special effects, they were overlooked because of the brilliant plot.
Moreover, the opening theme, ending theme, and incidental music in this film were all included in Su Chen's script.
The combination is absolutely perfect.
The copyrights to just these three songs are enough for their company to launch a new talent.
This one newcomer alone can bring endless profits to the company.
This is why they agreed to Su Chen's request.
Compared to a new idol, the money earned from this TV series is far too little.
They simply don't see it.
Editor-in-Chief Li reached out and clicked refresh on the computer. 847 muttered to himself, "I don't know how this guy's brain works. He's so good at writing novels, and he can also write scripts, compose music, and write lyrics."
"This guy is a creative team of his own! If he puts in a little effort, he could become a triple-threat star in film, television, and music, without having to worry about being sidelined."
At this point, Editor-in-Chief Li paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's true. If he really had such thoughts, he wouldn't have had the chance to cooperate with them."
Just half a month.
The popularity of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series has remained consistently high.
Editor-in-Chief Li picked up the phone, dialed the number, and said into the other end, "The pre-broadcast hype is almost done. Let's announce the premiere date."
The other side didn't say much either.
Just two simple words: "Okay."
Chapter 600: Li Shuci: Huh? Did I disturb you guys? (Cheers for Chapter 600!~)
Chapter 600: Li Shuci: Huh? Did I disturb you guys? (Cheers for Chapter 600!~)
On Weibo.
The number of replies to the "Chinese Paladin" New Year's greeting post has exceeded 10,000.
Aside from the initial outburst criticizing the writer's skill, everyone else was asking when the TV series would air.
I've been asking this question since the beginning of the month.
The initial eagerness of the crowd gradually turned into numbness.
In the end, most people who still persist in asking questions do so mainly out of habit and for fun.
And just today.
As usual, they searched for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and went to comment.
Suddenly I discovered that this message was shared by both Hu Xiaoge and Liu Yifei!
Furthermore, he also included his own questions.
When will it premiere?! I can't wait!
This repost was quite interesting; it instantly ignited the enthusiasm of fans on both sides.
People flocked to the official Weibo account of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to inquire again.
This time is different from before.
They had only been there a few minutes when the official Weibo account posted an article.
[Thanks to our hard work in the later stages, we will finally be able to meet you all at 8 PM on March 20th. Please look forward to it.]
In a word.
This left everyone completely bewildered.
What's happening here?
Does this reveal the broadcast time?
Some fans were very excited, but others were skeptical.
After all, there was the notorious procrastinator "Zhibi Chuanshen" first, and then there was the official delay.
Whether March 20th is actually this year remains to be discussed.
However, this did reassure many people.
......
in a blink.
The date arrived at March 20th.
eight pm.
Many people were sitting in front of their computers.
After all, most people have mobile phones now, and televisions have long become accessories.
Girls' dormitory.
Zhong Bai looked at the computer screen, repeatedly pressing F5.
Xu Lianqiao, who was behind her, frowned and turned around: "Is your computer broken?"
"It seems to be broken." Zhong Bai frowned. "Why hasn't the webpage refreshed when I press F5?"
At this moment, Xu Lianqiao stood over and looked at the computer: "What do you want to refresh?"
"It's the TV series 'Chinese Paladin'~ Wasn't it supposed to air today?" Zhong Bai said, his hands still moving.
"It's a TV series~ You can't watch it now."
"Why???"
Xu Lianqiao went back: "Because it's on TV today, it won't be uploaded to the platform until tomorrow. If you want to watch it, you'll have to wait until midnight."
"It's the middle of the night!~" Zhong Bai tilted his head back: "Doesn't that mean no electricity and no internet???"
